Kirk Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 i dont mind the side you have selected although like many on here i'm very much in the undecided camp regarding Bannan and Griffiths. Having said that i dont think this is a particularly young side - cant be bothered doing the maths but the average must be 26/27 You've also dropped James Forrest - one of our younger players (and arguably one of Celtic's better Scottish players this season) ?????????? Forrest is shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcca5 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Terrible news. Hope he is fit for competitive Scotland games. Vital player for us. West Brom midfielder James Morrison is facing up to two months out with the knee injury he picked up at Chelsea. The Scotland international, 29, was substituted in the seventh minute of Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge and missed Saturday's 3-0 Premier League defeat by Southampton. Morrison, who is out of contract in the summer, has made 19 appearances for the Baggies this season. He is the club's joint top scorer this season with four goals.

Wolfgang Overthebar Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Forrest is shite Then hopefully some posters on here will stop saying Mackay_steven, Allan and armstrong should be in the squad because he has been better than those three for Cletic this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wish the guy injured but I think for the vast majority of his performances for us he's been anonymous. Looks good for wba but not done much for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Sunnylaw Jag Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I've started to add English Championship goals by Scots on to the Scotland Epistles Facebook page. Oliver Burke's, Snoddy's and Ross McCormack's from yesterday have been added. Have a look. https://www.facebook.com/scotlandepistles/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 We almost always play worse when he isn't playing. I agree with you that Morrison is a bit unappreciated. One way of looking at it though is that we have a chance to find an alternative to Morrison. I really think it's James McArthur's chance to become a key player for Scotland.

One way of looking at it though is that we have a chance to find an alternative to Morrison. I really think it's James McArthur's chance to become a key player for Scotland. Agree McArthur's time is now but he's more of a replacement for Brown; morrison more of an advanced midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Agree McArthur's time is now but he's more of a replacement for Brown; morrison more of an advanced midfielder. Sadly though he's not always played for us in that advanced position. I don't know how Bridcutt's getting on at Leeds but he's looked promising in the past.

Notts Bankie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Oliver Burke has been immense for Forest. Fook the 21s, get him in the first team. No way. He's 18. He hasn't played half a dozen Championship games - but I will say this; he's strong as an ox, he's tall (over 6ft), and his frame and arms are massive. He looks like a boxer - for a winger he's big, powerful and he is very quick. Watch his goal v Bolton - that's a winger coming in and scoring a really good goal. Strachan and Gemmil are tracking him closely - WGS has been at the City Ground a few times this season - but the lad has shown with every game the improving potential that he has. But he's very raw. I'd skip the U19s and get him in the U21s, nowhere near the full team. I think next season he will have a lot of clubs looking in on him. But let's not get carried away.

Eastiebeastie Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think Morrison has been the pick of our midfielders for a while now. Poor in Tblisi as was the whole team, but that aside almost first name on the team sheet imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
